In The Deep Dark Woods

Trapped in a nightmare, Shruti lost all sense of time. Day and night became indistinguishable, swallowed by a darkness that clung to the room like a sickness. There were no windows, no escape. The only light was the flicker of a dying bulb, casting weak, trembling shadows that made everything feel more monstrous. When it stayed on, she almost wished it wouldn't-because then, she saw everything. The peeling, mold-ridden walls. The rusted chains digging into her skin. The dried blood on the cold, cracked floor-hers and those who had been here before her, forgotten. She learned quickly that screaming was futile. The first time, her voice was raw, her throat ached from begging for mercy, for help, for anything. She clawed at the chains, desperate to free herself. Her wrists bled, and her shoulders screamed with every pull. But the only answer was a cruel, mocking laugh, echoing from the shadows. "I like that spirit," the voice had said, low and dangerous. "Let's see how long it lasts." Once, she had been a champion-a girl with a loving brother, a devoted lover, and a world full of promise. Her future had been bright, her life secure. But everything came crashing down the day she was taken. Years passed-lost, erased, forgotten. Or so she thought. Was she really forgotten? Was there any chance of escape, or was this her fate, to die here, buried in darkness? But what if death isn't the end? What if it's only the beginning? Join the journey... Lost in the flames. Found in the dark.

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"

"There is a famous folklore about the woods among the nearby towns and villages. They say the woods have trees made of gold. They say the woods have animals and birds that speak human languages. They say the woods are filled with treasures hidden in every nook and corner." A young woman, intrigued, asked, "But then why does no one visit the woods?" The old woman, her voice low and heavy with warning, replied, "It's not because they don't want to, but because they don't dare. They say the woods have man-eating trees. They say the woods are home to monsters who are masters of deceit. And worst of all, they say the woods are alive, and they bring out the darkest parts of anyone who sets foot on their land." The young woman gasped, her curiosity tempered by a flicker of fear. The old woman leaned in closer, her piercing gaze locking onto the younger woman's. "The woods will lure you, entice you, and call out to you, whispering that you are special. But no matter what it says or does, don't go into the woods. If you value your life and your family, don't let greed guide your steps into their depths." The room fell silent, but the weight of the warning hung heavily in the air. The old women asks with a mysterious smile to the young woman and the people with her, "But! can you resist? Can anyone truly suppress the overwhelming desire to uncover the truth? the riches? the adventure? Will you heed the warnings-or succumb to the call of the woods? Step forward and uncover the secrets that await... if you dare."
